How are you planning to envelop your home?

Where will your main view look out to, your patio be awash with the smell of, and what will you drive up to at the end of each day?

These fifty home exteriors show what it means to have a modern-looking façade.

Using combinations of timber, plaster, bamboo, glass and concrete, they shoot up straight in large vertical panels, slither into long horizontal levels, and criss-cross with the forest and palm trees in a myriad of natural settings.

Pick your favourite from our top fifty exteriors for yourself.
